I did. Sent two to my daughters. One laughed. The other looked at me funny and slowly backed away......

In all honesty, you never even notice the Notch while using the phone. It is there when you want to see it, otherwise it just dissolves into the background.

My thought is that it's only non X owners that complain on the notch.
I was very skeptical also, but after seeing it for real, I must say it looks really good!
Possible I guess if you’re that deep into Apple. At Christmas my friend was trying to tell me that Siri was way better than Google Assistant because it’s made by Apple and Apple is the best brand. So anyhow we played a little back and forth voice game with our phones (my S8 and his iP7) Let’s just say I opened his eyes... He didn’t want to talk about phones anymore. Haha!

Mine is that it's only the users with iPhone 6S or earlier, or Android phones, that complain about lack of a headphone jack on the current iPhones, but after my last visit to an Apple store, seeing that it still isn't there, I must say it still looks like something's missing. Irony is that it is one of the few interfaces NOT missing on MacBooks and MBPs. This, though, is certainly an improvement: https://www.i7adapter.com/products/...MIvOrs6Lmq2AIVkyWBCh2k8QE4EAQYAiABEgLhh_D_BwEMy thought is that it's only non X owners that complain on the notch.

But that is also because a lot of 3rd party apps do not utilize the full screen, making the iPhone X looks just like the iPhone 6 without the home button...
Apple really need to make sure those 3rd party apps have to support the full screen. I am feeling like I got ripped off for paying the price without the extra benefits of the screen.
Now with the new year Apple can we get the following:
- MacBook Pro for the real working pro's?? Upgradable/serviceable RAM & storage (RAID) 2-USB-A ports & MagSafe (or other similar onboard solution), bigger battery. 13, 15 & 17" models
- HomePod jr. half the size of the current HomePod.
- Native RAID support
- Fusion Drive support
- The ability to roll it back for SATA based SSD which don't work well with it
I am deep into Apple but even I can admit that the google assistant is better.
ROFL!
Oh wait, here it comes. A snip at $2000 and up.

Agreed.
Google Assistant is better at enhancing the picture thet Google has of you, your life, your family and everything.
Use it and you sell your soul to the chocolate factory (IMHO)
Subjective stance. I also want to point out that the word 'Innovation' really isn't used appropriately in context most times on a tech forum. The iPhone X does offer a entirely new experience, the latest iPad pros are huge success in its own right, the Apple Watch being the top selling smart Watch, airPods were a massive success, Apple services are up. I'm Not sure why you're trying to downplay Apple like they're having a poor year, the numbers speak for themselves.
Oh I certainly can. It might not been as a feature but more how the true depth cameras work, which itself is what apple does. they make "features" that are core parts of the operating system in order to show off its abilities. Especially abilities they want you to show off to others, that don't have iPhones. Like the parallex effect with the icons/wallpaper. What possible purpose does it really have other than a marketing one?
You must be a busy man with your numbers and turnover - every time someone here says something about innovation.
That's a bit of an exaggeration saying 'every time', however, the term innovation is the one word that is sorely used out of context on a tech fourm. I would be willing to say the majority don't even understand what Innovation truly defines and how it correlates to a product.
The real issue at hand, is if something doesn't meet somebody else's standards or expectations "if" Apple fails at 'innovating'. When that's not a Widely adapted term to be used in the sense Of their own interpretation.
forgot about this. You are right he would present Animoji. Talking poop is classy! Mobile Zombies would buy anything. I'm getting old.
My thought is that it's only non X owners that complain on the notch.
I was very skeptical also, but after seeing it for real, I must say it looks really good!
I agree. The phone is awesome. Still learning the new gestures and all.....but I am liking it.
yeh maybe the default iOS11 background whch is designed to be dark at the top
To my knowledge, innovation is coming up with something new (unseen, unexplored) in terms of products, services or processes. Business history tells that success leads to industry leading, massive companies.
They tend to be incumbants that tend to play the game of protecting their marketshare.
Rather than take the risk themselves to be disruptive, they let other companies do the revolutionary innovative, see which ones survive and then take them out of the market to harvest their success.
Apple sadly has become the master of that game.
You can't protect your marketshare if you don't produce a product people want to buy. And I agree people have a "personal definition" of innovation that sometimes has nothing to do with the reality of what is behind innovation.
And speaking of the "personal definitions", I still believe apple is disruptive. Touch id, face id, removal of headphone jack. Betting the farm on some of these items, seems like the very definition of disruptive to me.
Disruptive means that it creates a completely new kind of business - disrupting existing business.
Like Apple II, iPod, iPhone, Newton did. FaceID while great technology is only replacing TouchID without functional enhancement (as of yet) - so it wouldn't be my example of disruptive.
A better example woud be a TouchMac: combining and cannibalizing current Mac and iPad. That would require real courage - which the Board clearly considers a step too far.
So it leaves the innovation opportunity to Microsoft with SurfacePro and will respond as soon as that becomes successful. Same with Samsung and inductive charging

Eh?
The product is a smartphone, there is absolutely nothing disruptive about it whatsoever. The things you listed are just features of the phone. Facial recognition (regardless of how it was implemented) isn't new either.
